Prioritizing Processes Over Goals

Matt Schlenker, MD, MSc, recaps his article, “Prioritizing Processes Over Goals,” which was featured in the May/June issue of Glaucoma Today. In this article, Dr. Schlenker makes the argument that results have more to do with the systems we follow as opposed to the goals we set. He explains the limits of goal setting and delves into the importance of habit forming as a way to achieve real progress in surgery and surgical training.
